Jim, you were there when I needed you and your kindness probably saved my life. You were my best friend, my favorite brother, and hopefully now, my guardian angel. I love you, brother dear and I miss you already.

James B. Buckman, the "B" stands for Braddock. Jim was named after the boxer, James Walter Braddock, who, on June 13, 1935, at Madison Square Garden Bowl, won the heavyweight championship of the world against Max Baer. Jim use to say, "My dad had to wait and see who won that heavyweight championship fight. If Max Baer would have won I'd be Maximilian Baer Buckman right now." A true story.

Jim helped me through some of the roughest times of my life. I hate to think of where I would be without his love, friendship, and support.
He was my friend, my brother, and my guardian angel. I will miss him and think of him often.
